It is, it is obvious, he figured that out two seconds after he said it, just shut up, there's a lot going on right now, okay? At least mentally, anyway. The look he got received a scowl back. "I get it. It was a stupid question, alright?"
Actually getting involved with the innards of the Machine was fascinating though, he wouldn't lie about that. Where there was one hand, there was now two, Gabriel going from merely crouched there to fully on his knees as he carefully works his fingers over V1's exposed internals. Inspecting what looked like ports and couplings, examining how muscle seemed to seamlessly integrate with steel and electronics. It was truly a marvel, a testament to the ingenuity of man. A strange, violent work of art, in a way, and he found himself captivated by what he saw and felt within.
Gabriel caught the reaction before V1 directed him, and he paused briefly to look towards it for confirmation. The tap upon his hand was all he needed, there it was then. Delicately, he ran his fingers over the spine, wondering at the sound of its cooling fans kicking on and the way that it shivered under his hand. Similarities met with incongruities, how fitting considering its biology.
"Would you like me to press harder?" He was being so careful, so precise, unable to shake the trace anxiety that pushing too far would end up damaging the thing. It wasn't like he'd ever encountered anything else like it before, sex with normal people was still kind of a novelty.
